***Important Notice*** The loquats, seeds, seedlings, and trees We provide are from certain trees that are a fruit-bearing mixed variety that is common to the San Joaquin Valley of California. The fruit are of good taste, golden yellow color, roundish or oval in shape, and are normally 1" to 1-1/2" in size. The mature leaves vary in size from 6" to 16" long. If grown in the shade, the leaves are of the larger size. The availability of the trees at this time is uncertain, depending on size and if reserved. Also, the availability of the seed at this time is uncertain. There has been a demand recently created due to potential use of the leaves for medicinal purposes now in research. However the fruit will be available for sale in the "late-spring early-summer" period. If We do sell any more trees, fruit, or seed, we would want a signed 
that states that any fruit, seed, or leaves harvested for commercial use and/or for profit, both now and any time in the future, would be reserved to Us and for Us unless or until We give up that right for specified reasons in writing for those certain specified trees produced from our fruit, seed, seedlings, and/or trees provided by Us. We will pay a reasonable amount for the harvested leaves and/or fruit. The amount to be determined at a later date. If you are willing to sign such an agreement, then We may have some trees, seedlings, or seed available for you to purchase at this time and fruit when in season. Make a print of the Agreement, sign it in blue ink, and send together with payment. |

The loquats [pronounced: "LOH-kwahts"] are one of the first fruits to ripen in the spring. The tartly sweet, aromatic 1-1/2" golden-yellow to orange fruit that resembles an apricot in size and color usually ripen in mid to late spring. The juicy, crisp flesh is pale yellow and has a delicate, sweetly tart cherry-like or pear-like flavor. It surrounds 1 to 3 seeds that are about the size of apricot pits. The seeds are smooth and rounded but somewhat flatted on one or two sides. The yellow fleshy edible fruits are eaten raw, cooked, or made into jelly. These fruits are favorites among Asian cultures. |
| The tasty edible fruit are considered a great delicacy in the Orient. It is closely related to the pear and apple trees...not the citrus tree called "komquat". |
| The loquat is referred to as "Nisparo" in the lush areas around Costa Blanca, Spain. They are seen growing in CALLOSA D’EN SARRIÀ (ALICANTE) and the fruit is protected by covering the trees with fine netting. Although the trees were originally grown as ornamental trees in China, Japan, and India, they were not grown for their fruit until about the 1700's. The Jesuits eventually planted them on the Mauritius Islands about 850km east of Madagascar near East Africa. Then they were taken to France in about 1784 and then to Italy in 1812. At about that time a merchant seaman named Captain Roig introduced them to Sagunto’s harbour and spread them throughout the Eastern and Southeastern coast of Spain being a part of the Iberian Peninsula. |
| Warning!
Do not eat, chew, or swallow the seeds. The loquat seed may be highly toxic. Remove the fleshly fruit from the seed before eating or cooking. |
